Overview
An association fallacy is a type of logical fallacy which asserts (or implies) that qualities of one are inherently qualities of another, merely by association. The two types are sometimes referred to as "guilt by association" and "honor by association."
The association fallacy is a special case of red herring, and is often based in an appeal to emotion. [W]
The association fallacy is also a form of reasoning by reputation when it is applied to personal reputations.
